14. The Power Of Teaching “If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.”
“If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.”
“If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach.”
“If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.”
“If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we … … teach? …punish?”
Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?

15. Why does everyone need to be involved?
Staff outnumbered in too many settings
Goal to achieve generalized responding of appropriate behavior
Adult presence is deterrent
